From a US DVD, using Handbrake 0.9.9 32 bits, I created the test1.mkv file
(1 video track x264 Main at L3.0 decomb CFR RF=20, 1 audio track AAC, nothing
else).
I tried to change the container to .avi with
ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i test1.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec copy test2.avi
(using ffmpeg version N-66860-g5552594 on Windows XP SP3) and received the
following message :
[avi @ 03098a20] H.264 bitstream malformed, no startcode found, use the
video bitstream filter 'h264_mp4toannexb' to fix it ('-bsf:v
h264_mp4toannexb' option with ffmpeg)
av_interleaved_write_frame(): Invalid data found when processing input
My first idea was that the x264 track was too complex for the .avi
container but I tried to change the container using Avidemux 2.6.8
(32-bit) ... and I succeeded !!!
I can visualise the (with Avidemux converted) test3.avi file with VLC and,
using Mediainfo, the description of the 2 tracks is the same in test1.mkv
and test3.avi (not a surprise, the run of was too fast for a codec
conversion; check with Videoinspector is also OK).
My knowledge of English (and of ffmpeg) is too weak to understand the
error message but, because it says that I have to use a filter, it implies
a 'codec run' that is IMHO not necessary.
Help is welcome.
